Proud of the party

MUST reply to the letter by Seosamh O’Fiachra (Irish Examiner, May 8) regarding election posters erected by Fianna Fáil candidates in the Carrigaline area.

Posters are just one element of a candidate’s campaign and, in my view, their primary benefit is to raise the profile of the candidate, and not the party.

It should also be remembered that the full cost of posters is borne by the individual, and not the party.
